“An exhilarating way to start the day”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 April 2012

We travelled north from Cape Town early on a Saturday to do their first jump of the day. When we arrived we weren't sure we were in the right place as we were expecting a more 'formal' looking hanger than what we were confronted with. We entered and saw the planes and the guys getting ready for the jump. We... More

“Professional AND Relaxed”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 March 2012

My first skydive was at this place and I loved it. We reserved a day before by telephone - easy. The extra cost for the video is well worth it! More

“A complete waste of time”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 February 2012

I agree with some previous review which has mentioned this as "non-existent service". I e-mailed these guys 10 days before my visit to enquire about timings, charges, etc... The response was quick and I told them that since we didn't have a fixed itinerary for our Cape Town holiday, I will call them on reaching South Africa. On reaching SA... More

“Amazing experience - a must-do on the bucket-list”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 February 2012

You have to do this at least once in your life - and the location Cape Town is just terrific. On the way up you will have a great view on Robben Island, Cape Town and the Table mountain. The jump takes only few minutes - but it's worth the money ! The video of your jump - taken by... More

“Great experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

Professional company with thousands of dives. Communication with them is sometimes a challenge but it is worth it. Make sure you devote 4 hours or so as it takes a while. More

Gave my hubby a skydive as a present after having made contact with these guys. Although they came back to me quickly with pricing and availability, when the time came to actually do the skydive they were not available, promised to call and didnt and basically embarrassed me. More

We booked tandem skydives with Skydive Cape Town. I have to admit, we were both scared as neither of us ever did this before. Our instructors, Blake and Paul, were both super cool, friendly, confident and very reassuring. They definitely made us novices feel at ease and made sure we were safe and secure. It seems that this activity can... More
